Preached by Terrence Calvin at Two Wells Baptist Church in Vanderwagen, NM 10/18/2026

In this lesson, we look at the doctrines sometimes summarized as "TULIP": total depravity, unconditional election, limited atonement, irresistible grace, and the perseverance of the saints.

"But to him who does not work, but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness." (Romans 4:5, NKJV)

This sermon explores the doctrine of definite atonement by examining the imagery of the shepherd and sheep in John 10. It argues that Christ's death was not merely a potential offer for all humanity but a specific, effective act to secure the salvation of those the Father gave to Him. The teaching highlights three key concepts from the text: the Father giving a specific people to the Son, the Son's intimate knowledge of His own, and the definite outcome of eternal life for the sheep. By contrasting this view with Arminianism, which suggests salvation is possible for all but actual for none, the sermon emphasizes the sovereignty of God and the sufficiency of Christ's work. Ultimately, the message offers believers profound comfort and security, asserting that their redemption is fully secured by Christ's finished work on the cross, independent of their own ongoing efforts or feelings.

This sermon explores the high priestly prayer of Jesus in John 17, focusing on the specific intercession He offers for His elect. The message highlights three key aspects: the revelation of God's glory to believers, the reception of grace through faith alone, and the recorded generosity of God in choosing His people. It emphasizes that salvation is entirely of grace, stripping away human merit and directing all praise to God's sovereign will. Believers are urged to find comfort in the certainty of Christ's intercession and to respond with humility and evangelistic zeal. The sermon concludes by challenging listeners to trust in Christ, affirming that coming to Him is the evidence of our election.

Pastor Mock distills the essence, and liberally quotes from Calvin, on Calvin's treatise arguing for the cause of the Reformation.
